Intel Case Analysis
Introduction
Forty-three years ago, a vision to bring advancements on how people work and live through silicon and technology innovations was born. Intel, derived from Integrated Electronics, was founded in 1968 by Gordon E. Moore and Robert Noycee in California. By 1989, they decided to reincorporate in tax friendly Delaware. Intel has since expanded globally to levels they probably only dreamed of. They created Intel in the tough times of the late 60s and since have seen so many evolutions come about which they have been a part of or influenced it through their creations and maintaining their vision. (ie personal computer (PC), internet, the evolution of globalization and outsourcing, financial crisis’s) Intel is an accomplished award-winning organization from both a business and financial perspective. Furthermore, it incorporates into a mix of corporate responsibility, together with environmental, health, and safety (EHS) compliances. “Intel was named to Fortune 's 2009 list of World 's Most Admired Companies. Intel was ranked #1 in the semiconductor industry (1).”
We will assess Intel by taking into account an in-depth overview within their industry from a business and financial perspective; how the internal and external environments affect Intel; and lastly, a detailed analysis of its stakeholders and recommendations on how they should approach short and long-term strategies.
With its humble beginnings in the semiconductor industry, creating the first commercial microprocessor chip, the 4004 in 1971, Intel has not stopped since creating the “brains and nervous systems” of computers. By achieving goals, acquiring talent and building a lot of capital they are able to uphold three operating segments. It was not until the PC boom of the 1980’s that they had the ability to recognize the opportunity at hand and were eager to strike into this from a marketing and financial aspect in order to rise above their competitors. This lead Intel to explore various
